Unions VIII Omit This Morn
ing.
The stoRecutterS', plumbers and
plaSterers' unions held long meetings
last night to discuss the action of the
amalgamated council of building trades
last Sunday, calling out all building
trades to-day. The plastererS soon de-
cided to join in the general walk-out,
but the meeting of the StOnecutterS lasted
until nearly midnight. and that~Of the
plumbers adjourned about 1880 this
morning. The plumbers decided as the
plaSterS did to fatty refuse to
work upon any job where ScabS of any
trade are employed. The committee of
the carpenters and bricklayerS did not
make their appearance before the
StonecutterS' union until 4 late hour.
The strike question was thoroughly dis
cuSS.9d, anu the remarks q the members
of the union were plainly in favor of
going out with the other trades, but a
proposition to have another meeting to-
night. SO that the action taken would be
by full vote Of the union, as many
members had already gone home, was
faYorably talked about. There was no
doubt in the minds of the officers of the
Carpenters and BricklayerS' unions,
WHO WERE Ill b.lt dIfbt-IOOm dG Tie
plumbers meeting last night, that the
stOnecutterS' strike would commence at
once, and the painters would follow
suit. Should the general lockout COM
mence to-day by all the trades repre-
scented in the Amalgamated council it
will call out all union StonemaSonS and
fathers also; that is if the contractors
should fail to come to an understanding
with the strikers and should continue
to employ Scab wOrknen.

At the meeting of the DaytOn'S Bluff
Labor union last night this resolution
was adopted:
Whereas, The action taken by the Con-
tractors and Builders association of this city
in trying to crush down labor is an insult TO
every workingman in the city; therefore be it
Resolved That. we heartily indorse the
carpenters and bricklayers in their present
struggle to uphold the dignity or labor, and
we offer them our full moral and financial
assistance.

the treasury of the Carpenters union,
and the Cigar Makers union, No. 4S,
has given $50 toward helping out the
strikers.
Cooperation is being very generally
talked up among the different labor Or
ganizatioAs, and the projectors. of the
scheme say it will not be very
long before the trades have
their own cooperative schemes
as the outcome of. the present strike,
all working in conjunction with one an
other. At the meeting of the Carpen-
tiers Cooperative association yesterday
afternoon the work Of locating shops
and making ALI necessary preparations
for business was placed in the hands of

ing was postponed until this morning.

ment of their side of the issue. Con-
tractor Grant had previously given his.
Mr.. Mcguire says if the Contractors,
union would take initiatOry steps to-
ward securing a conference, that

strike i'll chance conversation. Messrs.
